Big Thompson River Cabin – 7 Mins to Estes Park, Private Fly-Fishing Access

Scenic Riverfront Cabin – 7 Minutes to Estes Park | Spring Fly Fishing Escape

Embrace the beauty of spring at our serene riverfront cabin on the Big Thompson River—just a short 7-minute drive from downtown Estes Park. Surrounded by snow-kissed peaks, blooming wildflowers, and the gentle sound of flowing water, this cozy retreat is ideal for fly fishing, mountain adventures, or simply unwinding in nature.

The Space

Step into a light-filled mountain haven where nature takes center stage. The Great Room boasts soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and sweeping views of the river and towering pines. Each bedroom is a peaceful escape with tranquil scenes—from moss-covered rock formations to whispering aspens—so you can wake up to Colorado’s wild beauty.

Start your day with coffee on the wrap-around deck, curl up beside the fireplace with a good book, or sip something warm as sunlight dances through the trees.

Riverside Relaxation

Just steps from the back door, the Big Thompson River invites you to cast a line and reel in brown or rainbow trout. Whether you're an experienced angler or giving fly fishing a try, this private stretch of river offers quiet, scenic fishing and a front-row seat to nature.

Outdoor Oasis

Relax on the secluded patio, where you might spot deer, elk, or a soaring hawk. Listen to birdsong by day and stargaze by night—it's pure Rocky Mountain magic.

Enjoyed our escape to Estes

We had an absolutely wonderful and cozy stay! Great communication. Great accommodations. Great location. The kitchen was stocked with all necessities for cooking. The views are great and the home rests in a very peaceful setting. I loved sitting on the deck (and next to the open windows in the LR) to hear the sounds of the water.

Love the sound of the rushing river!

The host was an excellent communicator, and even volunteered to connect us with a fishing guide. The multi-level property is built into a hill right above the Big Thompson River, and there are stairs down to the river where you can fish for rainbow and brown trout from their property. Well equipped and nicely furnished.

Nice house, no AC

Love the location and river access. The property itself is commensurate with the cost. Our kids enjoyed the property also. Everything was in working order. Only complaint would be that we booked bc the listing said Air Conditioning. There was no AC. That was our main reason for booking. And initially the host was very responsive but never did get replies back for our early check-in or AC question (upon arrival).
